No, this wasn’t shot with the A7R (Samsung cell phone!) and its not part of a project, but I did take it while in Faizabad a couple of days ago. I flew up from Kabul with the hope of taking some more ‘N,S,E,W’ project photos from the air (which began with West to East), but […]

I’m still a firm fan of the Sony A7 and A7R and think this system is only in its infancy. Since my first camera reviews, I have added a number of Sony FE lenses to my personal inventory and I have plans to incorporate one of them (the Sony Zeiss 55mm f1.8 FE) into a […]

Sony A7 & A7R Part 4 – Verdict In my opinion, these two cameras are game-changers.
